--- Boil Order in Dieppe:
"DIEPPE, NB — The City of Dieppe wishes to advise residents that a water main break occurred on Amirault Street and crews are currently on site repairing the water main in question. In order to allow for the repair work, the water service will be temporarily shut off.
There is a boil order issued for all residents from 2135 and 2152, Amirault Street, to city limits, Dover Road, Domaine Dover Estates, Bayview Street and the following streets:
• Marco
• Freda
• Kristian
• J.F. Bourgeois
• Vézina
• Raphael
• Joanne
• Carter
The zone affected by the boil order is shown in pink in the attached map.
Until the boil order is lifted by the Public Health Office, all users affected are asked to follow these instructions:
• All water destined for drinking, preparing infant formulas and juices, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking, brushing teeth and dental hygiene is held at a rolling boil for at least one minute, including water that is used for washing teeth, making ice, making coffee/tea or juice and washing fruits and vegetables. This is particularly important for those whose immune system is compromised (i.e. elderly, infants, people with transplanted organs, on dialysis, etc.). Please note that home water filtration devices (water softener, pitcher filters, etc.) cannot eliminate microorganisms that could make you sick.
• Water can be boiled in a pot, in a kettle on stove or in an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.
• It is not necessary to boil water used for other household purposes such as bathing, showering, laundry or washing hands and dishes. When bathing or showering, avoid swallowing the water.
If you have any questions, please contact the Water and Sewer Department at 877.7990 or call 850.5104 for questions regarding the boil order.
A notice will be issued when the boil order is lifted." (see the WHAT'S TRENDING PAGE for more)

We think maybe tennis should lean into the music-plays-while-competition-is-happening thing. We're excited to announce Scotty and Tony's Rockin' Tennis Music Festival (currently seeking investors.)
